\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEpstein Barr Virus (EBV) is a member of the herpes virus family, named human herpesvirus 4. According to the Centers of Disease Control (CDC) most people will become infected with Epstein Barr Virus at some point during their life. Ninety-five percent (95%) of the population will be infected by the disease usually before turning 18 years old. If contracted as a childhood illness there are no distinguishments from routine childhood disease.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe most common way to pass the disease is through saliva.

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTeens and adults who contract Epstein Barr Virus usually have more severe symptoms than children. Fever, rash, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes (in the neck), enlarged spleen, swollen liver and inflamed throat\/tonsils are symptoms that plagued patients. The illness typically resolves itself within a month but is contagious until it solves. Afterwards the virus remains in the body and typically becomes dormant. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"EpsteinIf infected with the virus, Epstein Barr remains in the body and typically becomes inactive or dormant. However, the virus may reactivate, not cause any symptoms or it can continue to be reactionary with relapsing and remitting symptoms throughout someone\u2019s lifetime. Reactivated symptoms of EBV are more likely to occur in those who have a compromised immune system.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Found all over the world, the virus is spread through saliva or other bodily fluids including semen, blood transfusions, and from organ transplants. EBV can cause infectious mononucleosis, also called mono (the kissing disease), glandular fever<\/a>, chronic fatigue<\/a>, other illnesses and most recently has been connected to long-haul Covid.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Chronic Active Epstein Barr Virus<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tChronic active Epstein Barr Virus (CAEBV) is a complication of Epstein Barr Virus most often diagnosed by DNA tests that show elevated levels of EBV over a period of three of more months. Patients may suffer with fever, swollen lymph nodes, enlarged spleen, enlarged liver or liver failure, anemia, and pneumonia. These issues can be intermittent or constant and often become more severe with time.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIf Chronic Epstein Barr is not treated, many patients experience opportunistic infections and develop progressive immunodeficiencies. Patients may develop diseases that involve B cells, T cells and NK (natural killer) cells. EBV can progress into chemotherapy-resistant lymphoma or hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, a terminal disorder where the immune system damages and eventually destroys the liver, brain and bone marrow. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
